Jamie Lee Curtis

Entertainment - canada.com network

Canada.com has this article that contains an AP interview with author Jamie Lee Curtis about her writing and her latest book.

The following is my fave from the article:

AP: Was becoming an author a conscious career change?

Curtis: I sat down and wrote something that I didn't know was a book until I finished it. As soon as I finished it I knew it was a book because it made me cry. I thought 'Wow!' . . . I had no delusions or illusions that I was an author - I'm a well-educated uneducated person or an uneducated well-educated person, one of the two. And, it was not my intention when I started this 12 years ago that this was a career path. It was not an attempt for attention, it was not an attempt for money, it was the first pure expression that I've ever been able to tap into.
